Copying a page from one InDesign document to another

I have a page in an InDesign document (which contains graphics) that I would like to copy to another InDesign document, but Copy / Past does not work.

Have both files open...
In the source file open the pages panel and select the page(s) you want to copy, from the panel menu choose move page(s), and select the destination file and specify a position.

How do I copy a page from one pdf document to another?

If you open both documents, you can drag a page from the Pages panel (on the left of the window) of one document and drop it into the Pages panel of another.
You can also extract one or more pages from a document to create a new document, and then insert the pages from this new document into another. In Acrobat 11 you 'd do this by doing:
Tools > Pages > Extract
and then:
Tools > Pages > Insert from File

Indesign repeatedly crashes when I copy text from one InDesign document to another InDesign document

Indesign CC repeatedly crashes when I copy text from one InDesign document to another InDesign document. Is it possible to solve this problem?

Without system information and details like what text formatting, language settings, fonts used, paragraph styles even down to the spell check language nobody can even begin to guess.

Copying a page from one picture book into another

Does anyone know how to copy a page from one picture book into another. I have made 2 books and would like to make a third consisting of pages from the first 2 but seem unable to do it without starting again, or at least starting from a duplicate of one and re doing all the missing pages.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
print each page you want to include in "book 3" to a PDF and use the send PDF to iPhoto option - this will give you the pages as images in iPhoto that you can them place into "book 3"
See Old Toad's tutorial #19 for more details - http://web.mac.com/toad.hall/OldToadsTutorials/No._19.html - note that it is slightly different - you are only using the beginning part

How to copy a node from one dom document to another?

I have one dom document that I have to split up into multiple dom documents. I am able to get the inividual nodes that I want to put into seperate documents.
My problem occurs when I create a new dom document and try to add the node from the parent document. I get an exception saying (copied from api: WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if newChild was created from a different document than the one that created this node. )
How can I make it so that I can copy a node from one document and add it to another.

Have you checked out the API called importNode in the DOM Document. It lets you move nodes between different documents.
This api lets you simply copy the existing node from one document into another. without creating any new nodes for it.
I have done a small example please have a look.
Book.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<books>
<book>
    <name>Inside Corba</name>
</book>
<book>
    <name>Inside RMI</name>
</book>
</books>------------------------
Book2.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<books>
<book>
    <name>Core Java </name>
</book>
<book>
    <name>Core JINI</name>
</book>
</books>-------------------
MoveNode.java (copies nodes from doc2 into doc1)
import java.io.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
// structures
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
public class MoveNode
public static void main(String[] args)
    // step1. create a factory and configure it
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    // step2. set various configurations
    factory.setValidating(false); // do not need validation at this time.
    factory.setIgnoringComments(false); // do not ignore comments
    factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(false); // do not ignore element content whitespace.
    factory.setCoalescing(false);
    factory.setExpandEntityReferences(true);
    // step 3 create a document builder
    DocumentBuilder builder = null;
    try
      builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
    catch(ParserConfigurationException e)
      e.printStackTrace();
    try
      Document doc1 = builder.parse(new File("book.xml"));
      Document doc2 = builder.parse(new File("book2.xml"));
      if (doc1 == null || doc2 == null)
        System.out.println("doc1 is null or doc2 is null");
        System.exit(1);
      } // if
      // fetch books from doc2
      NodeList list = doc2.getElementsByTagName("book");
      System.out.println("number of books found " + list.getLength());
      Node node1 = list.item(0);
      Node node2 = list.item(1);
      // get the root node of doc1
      Node root = (Node) doc1.getDocumentElement();
      root.appendChild(doc1.importNode(node1, false));
      root.appendChild(doc1.importNode(node2, false));
      //now doc1 should have 4 nodes
      System.out.println(doc1.getElementsByTagName("book").getLength());
    } // try
    catch(SAXException se)
      se.printStackTrace();
    catch(IOException ie)
      ie.printStackTrace();
hope this helps.

Abhishek.

Why do objects get bigger when I copy and paste from one Keynote document to another?

I have 2 keynote presentation files open. I select some objects on one slide, apple-C to copy, go over to a blank slide in another file, and apple-V to paste. The item(s) get pasted but are much bigger - they take up way more of the new slide than they did for the old one. What am I missing? Why can't I copy it with the same relative size it used to have?

Chances are that small file used to be a PowerPoint file - PowerPoint deals in inches instead of pixels (which blows my mind).
I would first convert the smaller file to a larger resolution - that should keep most of the scaling intact - and then copy and paste. In my opinion you'll probably have to re-polish your presentation once you've changed the resolution as some things will probably be a bit wonky.

In InCopy, how can I paste from one InDesign table to another without also copying formatting?

I'm attempting to paste information from one indesign document to another, but the styles are different. Pasting without formatting not working in a table. When I paste over, it retains the container style from the original table.
I have "Text Only" selected from my Clipboard Handling preferences, so I'm not sure what else to do. I know I can hit escape to switch to the text selection instead of a container, but this only selects the text from one cell. I'd like to copy over the entire table, instead of copying cell by cell.
How can I paste a table into another, without copying the formatting?

Copy/Paste whole cells will always retain formatting.
What you have to do is: Copy/Paste Without Formatting the text contents of the individual cell.
You have to do that individually for each cell, if you want to copy over text of a whole table.
A better approach would be to:
1. Copy the whole table to Excel (or a different spread sheet application)
2. Copy again from that
3. Select one single cell and paste
In that case "Text Only" should be selected from the Clipboard Handling Preferences.

Copy a page from one Document to another

Can anyone help
In Pages '08 we had the ability to copy a page from one document to another.
In Pages '09 this does not seem possible.
Does anyone have anwser....
Thanks

OK my bad
I just realized that I was in Word Processing in one document and Page Layout in another and you cannot do the copy between the two. Changed the Blank documentto word processing and voila it worked.

I think this might help. Go to the document you want to copy the page from and go to the "View" menu and choose "page thumbnail" so you can see the thumbnails on the side of the document. Right click (or control click) on the thumbnail of the page you want to copy and choose "copy.
Go to the document you want to paste the page into and make sure you have the "View thumbnail" option turned on. If you already have some pages click on the page you want the new page to follow and then right click and paste the page where you want it. (you have to do this in the thumbnail view area, not in the actual document itself.) If you have inserted the page in the wrong spot, just drag it to the right location. note: I have tried dragging the thumbnail from one document to another and it does not work. Too bad because it works that way with a PDF documents in "Preview" app.

How do I move or copy a page from one pages doc to another?

I used to frequently move or copy a page from one multiple-page Pages document to another just but dragging and dropping the thumbnail. Since I upgraded I can't do this anymore. How can I do it now?

It never worked that way in Pages '09. You have to copy and paste the Thumbnails.
That no longer works in Pages 5. Sounds like you are not copying and pasting content because that certainly works. Read what VikingOS wrote and do precisely what he said.

Hi ,
Through Portal it is not possible to copy a page from one page group to another .
There is a feature in Portal WebDav .
Through a DAV client you can copy page to your local system as a folder and then drag the page to the pagegroup you want to copy .

Transferring pages from one iweb site to another

Thank you for any feedback or suggestions.
I have finally gotten a separate .mac & iweb account for my business. Now I would like to take my business pages/site off my personal iweb account and transfer everything to the business iweb. How do you do that?
Following the threads on these forums I managed to get a second user, new .mac, etc. Thank you for all that help.

Hi there,
The only way to move iWeb pages from one user account to another is to move the Domain.sites2 file where iWeb stores its files. To find that file go to
User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2
If you can’t find it here search for it with spotlight. Note that the extension .sites (iWeb 1.0) or .sites2 (iWeb 2.0) may be hidden, also search for Domain only. To see if a Domain file is iWeb ’06 or iWeb ’08 select the file press Command(Apple)+i under "Name & Extension" you will find that it is .sites or .sites2.
Once you found it duplicate it (Command(Apple)+D). They are now completely independent from each other. So when you make a change to one site it will be saved only to that Domain file and not to the other.
Now take the copy of the Domain file and transfer it from one user account to the other.
To transfer your domain.sites2 file from one user account to the other you can put it on a USB-Stick, External Harddrive, on a CD/DVD or whatever. Not a great idea if you have a large Domain.sites2 is to send it by e-mail.
To get the site showing up in iWeb just open the Domain.sites file by double clicking on it and your sites and pages will show up on the left side in the iWeb page browser. Note that the location, where you put the file, doesn’t matter.
As you already created your and your business’ website they are both in the Domain file. What you then have to do, once you have it on both user accounts, is to delete your private website in business' account and the business' site in your private account. The rest will be preserved.
NOTE 1: Note that you have to change permissions of the Domain file to be able to edit, save changes and publish a website from another user account and from another computer as well.
Select Domain file press Command(Apple)+i under Ownership & Permissions go to =>Details =>Others and select Read & Write
You have to do that in the original user account and computer in which the Domain file was created.
If you don’t change permissions you will find an error while publishing and saving.
Remember to always have a Backup of both Domain files. It's REALLY important.
